My name in Japanese

:bonk: [quote] I don't know the translation of my name in Japanese.. Can someone tell me? Well I have two 'first names': Gelie Erika (but I sometimes spell it as 'dyeli erikah' - jaz to add "flavah" hehehe).. (cute ey?! hehehehe..) I don't really know if there's a translation for Gelie, but I guess there is for Erika.. So.. Please tell me.. Thanks a lot! :say_thanx:

I thought I'd give this a try too.

I have a Chinese name, and the character is: ’¿ or "zhen"

My question is: In Japanese I know this translates to "Jin".... but what is the gender of that name? I'm a girl btw ^^

Jin doesn't really sound like a girl's name, I've only heard it used for guys.

Is there another pronunciation for this kanji? any help is appreciated!!! :mrgreen:

what would be japan's pronunciation of this name?

‘¾ó


'tis my korean name... i wonder if it could be directly translated and read in japanese :P

thanks.

thanks.

It would be 'ta-e-i'

But the kanji ó is rarely used in modern Japan.

I never heard pronouncing ’¿ as 'Jin'.
Usually, ’¿ is pronounced 'Chin' in Japan.
And I don't think Chin has a gender.
Chin sounds more like a family name for Chinese person.

katakana: ƒV[ƒi
roma-ji: Shiina

If you want to use kanji for Sheena, ŽØ or ’ÅØ or ’Å“Þ will be nice I think.

How is the name Rikke translated? I know ri and ke, but what's just k??

Thanks :D

:P this looked like fun so i think i'll try it too ^___^

well my name basically transaltes to lion new house

i found the kanji for lion (i think)--->[image]

Thanks :D

Rikke=ƒŠƒbƒP

The double consonant sound is indicated by the small 'tsu'.

anyone know how to mention 'peter' in japanese?including the japanese character...
arigato... ^^

It should be: Piitaa or ƒs[ƒ^[ in katakana.

Do you ask how to write your last name in Japanese?

Collins is ƒRƒŠƒ“ƒY.

For example, "Phil Collins" is "ƒtƒBƒ‹EƒRƒŠƒ“ƒY" in Japanese.

if anyone knows the translation+kanji for new house (since that's what my last name essentilly means) then i could write my name in kanji...so...help please oh masters of the japanese language which inhabit the forum

Well, You could spell it: V‰Æ (new) (house)
I like the pronunciation "Shin'ya", which is a real Japanese family name.

But these Kanji have many other pronunciations, particularly the following family names:
Araie
Araya
Shin'ie
Shinka
Shinke
Niiie
Niika
Niike
Niinomi
Niiya

:P that makes it shinya shishi XD...ok then thank you

Wow, this thread is awesome!

Hmmm... well my first name is Rina. I dunno if there is a Japanese translation. It means "peace".

If someone can post how to write Rina in Japanese, it would be greatly appreciated.

Rina is a very popular Japanese girls name. My name dictionary has about 90 different spellings for "Rina" (‚è‚È).

The famous actress Uchiyama Rina spells her name: —–¼

That's where I got my name dictionary (Breen), but I didn't see a direct link on that page. His dictionaries are awesomely useful. I think his name dictionary is accessible via the drop down menu at the top of this page too (JDict-Names), but I have found it most convenient just to pull the entire dictionary into my editor and use regexp searches.
